Falcon 121, OD 7.8, 39 tribal weedie
the breeze looked light when I arrived at the sailing club this morning, but others were doing nicely on big gear, so rigged up the 7.8 and hit the water. Then the wind turned up a few notches and it was the most powered up Ive ever been on the 7.8. I was waiting for the scared feeling to sink in, but instead I got a happy feeling as the board just took it in its stride, settled down and took me on great long runs across the lake to island and back. Only 2nd ride on the 121 falcon, its a beauty, had the mast foot further forward tgis time, and it glided over the chop like a magic carpet. The raceboard fleet arrived and feeling inspired by speedster Matt's 83 ks yesterday, I kept going to see if I could do it. Had a couple of breaks for water, need to get a water back pack for next time I try this. Happy day.
